This guide simply points out where to find each and every journal in the game. Some of these are found in the game’s many explorable areas, and some are found on the world map. For successfully finding all the journals in the game, you’ll unlock the achievement Follow The Trail.
You can check your journal collection progress simply by clicking the Journal option from the game’s main menu, which allows you to re-read or re-listen to entries whenever you choose to. Note that a few journal entries do not appear in the list, namely the “Unknown” ones, until you find them in the game, so make sure you collect those alongside the rest.
We are still trying to find the last two journals to complete our list. We’ll update this page as soon as we can!
